Description

In the spirit of learning, the Division of Student Services joins
colleagues from the Division of Inclusion and Equity, the Division of
Enrollment Development, the Pew Faculty Teaching and Learning Center
and Academic Advising for a series of conversations focusing attention
on student success. The goal is to bring together faculty and staff
from across the university to share broader perspectives and gain
greater knowledge to better serve students. All CSAL students are
invited to attend.

"Closing the Consciousness Gap for Educators"
Presented by Dorinda Carter Andrews, Assistant Dean of Equity
Outreach Initiative for the College of Education at Michigan State University

This learning opportunity will help higher education professionals
recognize the unconscious beliefs that get in the way of best serving students.

Participants will better understand the role of staff and faculty in
creating the conditions for success for ALL students (centering
underrepresented and marginalized students), be able to identify
individual behaviors that get in the way of serving students the best
way possible, and recognize the University as a "system"
while identifying ways to dismantle barriers to student success.
